Folks:
I can't wait to start programming with Python. However, I am having difficulty installing
on my XP operating system. I downloaded Python-3.4.5ci as that seems like the version
that will run on my operating system. The latest version will not as per mention on the
website. I downloaded the compacted version (*.tar), converted it to a *.tgz and
extracted the software into a folder Python-3.4.5ci. That subdirectory contains numerous
files (11) and 13 subdirectories. The README file states that "On Windows, see
PCbuild/readme.txt.". That link was not found.
So, I am clueless on what I need to do to successfully install Python3.4 on my
computer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you've got .tar and .tgz files then that doesn't sound like a Windows
binary. (I assume you want to download a ready-to-run binary release and
not try and build it from sources which I understand is not trivial.)
Google for 'python download for windows'. You're looking for a
self-installing executable or a .msi file.
